Ever felt like your emotions are about to boil over, spilling into every aspect of your life? Kijuan compares it to a pot of boiling water.

In this conversation, Kijuan talks about the importance of emotional honesty—being truthful about where you are and what you’re feeling. By speaking the truth and addressing what’s really going on, we start releasing the pressure, restoring emotional balance, and raising our vibration.

It's time to let go of limiting beliefs and start the healing process by being real with yourself and others.

Facing unimaginable challenges, Kijuan didn’t turn away from his faith—he questioned it. "Why would you do this to me?" he asked, only to receive a powerful response: “I test what I make.”

This conversation with God reshaped Kijuan’s entire outlook on life and hardship. It wasn’t just a test—it was a proving ground. A test to see how strong he truly was.

Today, Kijuan uses his story of faith, resilience, and transformation to inspire others. He’s more than a motivational speaker—he’s a living example that faith, no matter how shaken, can guide you through your toughest battles.

Reach out, talk, and begin your healing journey.

Kijuan Amey stresses the critical importance of speaking out when you're struggling. Internalising pain can lead to a boiling point, where everything overflows. But by talking, you create space for healing and connection.

Sharing your thoughts and emotions is a powerful tool for resilience and survival.

Pride can be the biggest roadblock to real healing.

Kijuan Amey reflects on how growing up in the inner city—and later serving in the military—shaped his understanding of pride, resilience, and vulnerability. He shares how, especially in military culture, the stigma around mental health runs deep: "As soon as you step foot through that door, people look at you differently." But Kijuan breaks that silence, showing that true strength is in seeking support—not suffering alone.

Kijuan Amey dismantles the dangerous myth of "doing it all by yourself."

His advice? If someone claims they made it through life completely alone—run the other way. Kijuan believes healing is a team effort. Therapy, connection, and vulnerability aren’t signs of weakness—they’re the foundation of real resilience.

If you’re struggling mentally or emotionally, don’t isolate yourself. Find your team. Find your strength.

Our Story

Welcome to Bend Like Bamboo, specialising in optimising health and recovery from stress, illness or any setback in life. To bend like bamboo is to bend in change with resilience. In 2009 Amanda Campbell suffered a major MS attack that left her paralysed and was given a 50% chance of ever walking again. Unprepared to accept this as her fate, Amanda learned to focus on what she wanted instead of what she was scared of. With a lot of determination and the help of her doctors and a Kinesiologist, within six weeks, she stunned us all by not only walking, but running.

This prompted her to swap a fast-paced career in the fashion industry to go back to study to enable her to understand how she achieved her recovery.

Having become an accredited Sports Kinesiologist, Amanda founded Bend Like Bamboo www.bendlikebamboo.com her private practice in 2013, where Amanda has dedicated her life helping others rebuild their lives from illness and stress. Bend Like Bamboo specialises in helping people to bend with change with resilience to optimise their health. Amanda sees clients recovering from Autoimmune disease, setbacks and physical symptoms.

Amanda co-founded Nourissh www.nourissh.com with her partner and VinoMofo in 2014, delivering ready-made meals to people across Melbourne, after she discovered the role ethically sourced and nutrient dense food played in her recovery.
